Sandwalking
Definition from Terminology of the Imperium
Sandwalker: any Fremen trained to survive in the open desert.

Sandwalking, part of the training from the definition above, is very important. It is the un-even walk that usually is a combination of sliding, waiting, stepping, and dragging, and is meant to go unnoticed to a sandworm. Often, a Fremen will use a thumper (see thumpers in this section) to lure the worm to away from the direction they will walk.
